First post, by shoe
Okay, so I've read through as many posts and did as many searches as I can, but I just can't seem to make this combo work!
Here's what I've tried:
Using Dosbox, gulikoza and ykhwong's DosBoxes with and without glide=True, running Carmageddon outside of DosBox etc, and here's my results:
Inside of DosBox, the OpenGlide that is hardwired into gulikoza and ykhwongs builds only *partially* works. Meaning that, the game will load, I'll hear the sound and movies going on, but I'll only be able to actually SEE the game once in a race (I had to remember menu options to get into the race). Once I was in-race, the graphics were great - but some elements (text overlays etc were missing). Interestingly, everytime I skipped a movie or moved past a menu item, that screen would appear as a static image while I was in the next menu.
Inside ALL DosBoxes without Glide support (or set to False), and DgVoodoo loaded, the game starts loading, then crashes, along with DosBox, and no error messages.
Inside ALL DosBoxes, both regular and hires Carmageddon work, but these run slooow which is why I need Glide emulation.
Now, from the Windows side - I've been able to run Carmageddon 3dFX by using dgVoodoo just fine. To use sound, I had to load VDMSound - but the sound skips so much its annoying. Plus, it requires me to *install* something. I want this to be a portable thing.
Glidos also works well with Carmageddon 3dFX - but it is not portable. If it was, along with VDMSound, I might consider contributing money to Glidos - but alas, some things cannot be.
So, tell me, has anyone had success getting Carmageddon 3DFX + dgVoodoo to successfully run *within* a DosBox environment? (I've had success running it directly with dgVoodoo & VDMSound - but again, not what I want).
Thanks so much,
shoe
p.s. perhaps I should save this for another thread - but is there anyway to mount an image with CD audio tracks and have the game 'see' these and play them (audibly). so far no luck within any environment
